"The Good Death"

The author is Dr. Mel Newton, a large & small animal veterinarian in California.  From the article:

     For all of us, including our pets, life is always too short.  It doesn’t matter if you squeeze another week in.  If it’s a week of suffering it doesn’t mean anything.  If there’s a terminal diagnosis and quality of life will only get worse, it’s OK to say goodbye now while life is still good.  It will never be enough time, you will always wish there had been one more ride, one more picture, one more walk.  There will always be regrets.  

     Don’t make holding onto an animal longer than what is fair to them be one of them.  Under the guise of “life” there are things worse than death.  Give them the gift of a good death. "
